UncleTom's cabin

            This piece is about slaves, even well-treated ones, are not safe as long as humans can be bought and sold to anyone who can afford it. Because the story is broken up into certain chapters to be read, I found it slightly difficult in understanding what was happening in the story.
             A core idea that the author is depicting is the cruel treatment of slaves. The slaves are chained together. Another idea is how slaves had no human value. The reader with the various horrors of slavery, and Stowe pays particular attention to the plight of the mother whose child is ripped from her. Haley buys more slaves- a woman named Lucy and her ten-month old baby boy. A stranger on the ship strikes a bargain with Haley and buys the child. When Tom observes this "unutterably horrible and cruel transaction," Stowe says, "his very soul bled." The mother, in despair, throws herself into the river that night. .
             Core ideas or dominant images been of continuing value is the bond between a mother and her child. Another important theme is Eliza's reliance upon God. Her Christian masters have betrayed her by selling her son, and now she in turn feels she is betraying her duty of loyalty to them.
             A few points emphasized in the head notes which I find evidence in the text includes "Stowe ceased to write on behalf of abolitionism- (1672). "Her aim had been to inspire voluntary emancipation by compellingly demonstrating the evil and unchristian nature of slavery" (1672); "As the Civil War approached, Stowe ceased to write on behalf of abolitionism and turned to novels of New England culture and history." Stowe's aim is to "inspire voluntary emancipation by compellingly demonstrating the evil and unchristian nature of slavery.".
             There are some points emphasized in the period introductions which I find evident in the text includes: "Harriet Beecher Stowe compellingly described the way rigid Calvinism could cripple young minds"(970); "Some of the writers of this period lived with the anguishing paradox that the most idealistic nation in the world was implicated in continuing national sins the enslavement of blacks-(972); .
